Dan; thanks for your comments. First I'll state thefacts, then the disclaimer. The facts are that I didjust about everything wrong that could be done wrong onthat landing. Took my focus out of the cockpit and putit on the observers on the ground since I knew they hada camera going. Started my roundout too high, then whenthe airplane started to balloon, I punched in power butthen changed my mind and told myself to pull the power,pull back the stick, and hold it back so then it camedown hard and bounced. Forgot to holdupwind aileron and let the wing start lifting.The disclaimer is that this was one of my first sololandings in the airplane, shortly after I got signed offin it. Also, it was breezy and hot that afternoon.Today I am a far better Piet pilot and I make superblandings every time now.And if you'll buy that, I have a healthcare plan I'd liketo sell you...Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: YouTube postings

Wow Oscar! That looks like a landing I made.......... today! Sometimes ya getbeautiful ones, sometimes ya get ugly ones. Oh well. Seriously though whatreally makes you get better at landing is making a landing like that and thenstraightening it out and calming it down. That's where you really feel out theairplane and know you have control of it.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I'd be willing to bet that we've all made "memorable" landings.I say post 'em if you got 'em. Critiques are welcomed.The benefits will be twofold, we might learn something and we'll all feel better knowing that not all landings are greasers.Here is mine:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk3e7HLF_M8Greg C.----- Original Message -----
